This is a bright, saturated sunshine yellow in solid opaque glass, carrying a completely matte, frosted surface — no gloss, no shine, just a soft, velvety texture that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The combination is striking: the color has the full cheer and warmth of a dandelion yellow, while the frosted surface gives it a chalky, sun-baked character that a glossy opaque bead cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn massed beadwork the frosted surface reads as a smooth, even field of color with no individual sparkle points — a soft, dense yellow with an almost ceramic quality. This makes it particularly effective beside glossy or transparent beads, where the contrast in surface texture becomes a design element in its own right. The frosted surface can burnish slightly at high-contact points over long wear; handle as you would any matte-finished antique bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrosted-surface lots are a distinct category within SVC production, and the finish is as match-critical as the color: a glossy opaque yellow of identical hue will read as visibly different in finished work. For restoration and traditional beadwork where the original used a matte yellow, this is the correct material. Browse our full SVC yellow and frosted inventory to compare against your reference material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This lot measured approximately 2.3–2.6mm at sampling, spanning SVC 11\/0 into 10\/0 tolerances; the original acquisition card designates it 10\/0 and we list it accordingly. Antique beads are measured from original stock and sizing is approximate; dimensions may vary between lots. We recommend pre-sorting before count-critical work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRAIRIE EDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54058852712643,"sku":"10SV125-6U","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/7397\/5491\/files\/10SV125-6U.jpg?v=1785447705","url":"https:\/\/www.shipwreckbeads.com\/products\/antique-venetian-10-0-seed-bead-frosted-opaque-dandelion-6-10-grams","provider":"Shipwreck Beads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
